Paid for by American taxpayers. Real smart deal you made there Kerry/Obama. When Iran lights one of these things off, they will be guilty of murder for funding terrorism. Oh wait, silly me, they have been funding terrorists for years.
Yup. See my previous thread.
Gee, I was wondering what Iran would do with that $1.5 billion.
